[amit.naik]

Hi,

I have already gone thru other threads on Loma certification... still require help from senior members.. Sorry in advance in case of repetitive questions...

I am currently working as BA in IT company (Exp. 5 yrs. overall n relev. 3 yrs.) n was working in sales (in home loan, insurance etc..) before working as BA. I have done MBA (Marketing) from Mumbai Univ. My current IT Company is non member company (not registered with LOMA).

I wanted to pursue Loma certification 280 & 290 (FLMI)... n need study material... I would be thankful, if someone can send eBooks’ & other study material on my id i.e. amit.naik1982@gmail.com

Also would be thankful if someone can guide me on scope for Loma professionals in 2010 (post recession) or next coming years...

Also suggest if I can work as BA in Insurance domain... what preparation should be required...

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Amit

There is no online document which I can email you. If you want more info about course material, please visit loma website - http://www.loma.org/learn/learners/how/ordermaterialstextbooks.aspx

As you have mentioned you wanted to do LOMA. But why an International life insurance certification? Are you working in insurance domain? Again you wanted to know the scope of insurance. Are you wanted to move into insurance domain? If you have decided to do LOMA, why you wanted second opinion? I could not get you here?

Also suggest if I can work as BA in Insurance domain... what preparation should be required...
